Beschreibung

The operation will finance the extension of the tram network in Warsaw, during the period 2022-2026. In particular, it will cover about 16 km of a new tramline and the construction of a new depot at Annopol, which will serve both the existing and the wider tram operations.

Additionality and Impact

The Operation contributes to several Sustainable Development Goals and to EU and EIB policies objectives. The Project complies with the objectives set in the EIB's Transport Lending Policy and is aligned with the Paris Agreement, according to Annex 2 the EIB's Climate Bank Roadmap. The Project provides a substantial contribution to Climate Change Mitigation according to Annex 4 of the EIB's Climate Bank Roadmap. The project will also contribute to Climate Action and Environmental Sustainability Objectives.

The Project addresses a number of market failures that justify the use of public financing to address the investment gap. The Project includes investment in public transport infrastructure that is expected to generate positive externalities for the city's residents and mitigate negative externalities of road traffic such as congestion and road safety. The new tram line will provide an affordable mobility solution to increase accessibility and connectivity of several districts in the city.

 

The loan will be a cornerstone of the financing for the Borrower's investment programme in public transport. The loan will offer key benefits such as a long loan maturity and flexibility with respect to availability period, interest rate arrangements and grace periods, which will enable the required alignment with the implementation and financial modalities of the Project. 

Ziele

The project supports the implementation of the 2016 Sustainable Mobility Plan for the Warsaw Functional Area. The project should have an overall positive impact on the environment by promoting sustainable urban mobility and reducing GHG emissions and environmental pollution.
